So I was not feeling overly crafty tonight, but hubby decided to watch the State of the Union speech on TV and I didn't last more than a few minutes. Even though I live in the Washington DC metro area, I'm not big on politics.
So I headed to my studio and this is what happened. I was trying for a more masculine color scheme. I recently saw a blog post using Ocean Tides and decided to pull it out as my base. I bought the Unity September store kit of the month a while back at my LSS, so I pulled it out to give it some inky love. I've been on a bit of a border punch kick so I grabbed one of those too. I added the bling at the end because it just sort of seemed blah and needed something. I don't know if they helped or hurt, LOL. For better or worse, just like us, it is what it is.
PTI Ocean Tides cardstock, saddle stitched ribbon and ink; Vintage Cream cardstock; Bitty Stars patterned paper in Dark Chocolate; Scarlet Jewel ink and Star Prints stamp set. Unity phrase stamp, Kaiser rhinestones, Martha Stewart stars border punch.
Only 4 more to go!!! I think I might actually get this done. :-)
You've inspired me to try making 14 cards for my DH. I duuno if I can make it though seeing as how February 1 is just a few days away. Ack! Your card is great - I love the quote. The gem was a "good" addition. :)
